RE: There Is Nothing Wrong With Suicide

in #suicide7 years ago (edited)

Very controversial. I just had to read it upon seeing the headline.

I am honestly not a very deep dude. I am not philosophical and neither am I interested in politics.

But I like to think I respect everyone's way of life. I wrote about it before, but I believe that suffering in the world comes about from our own personal declarations of approval that when combined, creates a collective consciousness which most of it will not admit to.

Using this case as an example...

Two friends come together to talk about their good friend's suicide. One is extremely distraught. The other is strong and consoling him.

Deep down in the first friend, he thinks suicide is fucked up and wrong. He declares that. He wonders why there is suffering in the world.

Deep down in the second friend, he feels at ease for this tragic event has distracted him from his own problems. He also gets a chance to do a good deed, which is to be there for his friend now. He does not say it, but that feeling of ease was really what he needed in life. He feels empowered even.

Is suicide right or wrong? I don't know. I am just one person. The world has 7.5 billion people and things will continue they way they as we evolve. I can't stop it. Laws cannot even stop them entirely.

All I have to say is, happiness is not really a choice anymore. Self-help people like to talk about it, coercing people to take responsibility for their own life. But that's impossible for some. You must realize that.

How can you say happiness is a choice to a starving kid in Africa? A clinical depressed person? A lady who just got raped? A child who has cancer? The list goes on.

I agree with you on the fact that suicide is what it is. It exists. Right or wrong is another thing altogether.

You live and you let others live and some choose to die. You just have to accept that's a fact of life, and death now. Brave post @kyriacos
